How to wash jeans: a few tips that will prolong the life of the product

If you fall in love with one pair of jeans, you want to keep them for life. And in the same way you first encountered them. To make it work, it's important to give them the right care. Then everything will work out. 

For starters, you need to figure out how to properly wash your jeans so they last as long as possible. 

A brief instructions on how to wash jeans:

• Water temperature should be no more than 30-40°C. Hot water will cause your jeans to shrink and may change their color. 
• Button up all buttons and turn the jeans inside out before washing. 
• Jeans are best washed in Jeans mode. If this is not available, follow the instructions on the label.
• Jeans should be washed when absolutely necessary. Or wash certain areas. 
• Do not wring your jeans after washing, but just let the water run off.

Now let's figure out what modes are appropriate, how to read the labels correctly, and which wash is better: hand or machine wash.

How to wash jeans in the machine?

Before you send your jeans to the washing machine, be sure to study the label. At first glance, complex and confusing instructions will save you from trouble in the form of faded and ruined jeans. So first read, and then act.

The easiest and most correct way to wash jeans in a washing machine - turn on the mode "Jeans". All ingenious is simple, effective, and safe. If there is no such mode, then we set everything manually. 

First, you need to button all the buttons, check the pockets and turn the jeans inside out. Second, choose the right laundry detergent. They should not contain bleach in any case, otherwise, the classic jeans will look more like boiled jeans. 

Another important point is at what temperature to wash your jeans. Set it to 30-40°C, and the jeans will be as comfortable as possible. Washing in hot water can shrink the item or change the color. The good news is that you don't have to wash your jeans after every wear. 

How often should I wash my jeans?

To make your jeans last as long as possible, don't wash them too often. You can clean the stains locally, and pop them in the washer only when necessary. First, frequent washing quickly washes out the paint and jeans don't look the same as they did after purchase. Second, for the first few months, the jeans "get used to" and adapt to you. This, by the way, is no joke. Jeans "remember" all the unique scuffs and creases that occur when you wear them. 

Also, don't forget about conscious consumption. Frequent washing shortens the life cycle of jeans. So wash them only when absolutely necessary and according to the instructions on the label. 

How to wash jeans by hand?

If you're the kind of person for whom washing by hand is real meditation, then this method is perfect for you. Yes, and it will also keep the color and shape of your jeans. So, check the pockets and move on to the washing itself.

Fill the bathtub with water at 30-40 ° C. Remember, the water should never be too hot. Otherwise, we risk damaging the jeans and have to say goodbye to them. And this scheme is not for us. 

Do not sprinkle the powder on the jeans themselves. The most ideal option is to dilute the powder separately in water and pour the contents into the tub.

Next, move on to washing. Do not twist the product, wring it slightly and let the water drain off.

Ideally, dry your jeans horizontally. If there is no such a possibility, then gently hang on the balcony and let dry.

Another burning question is how to wash black jeans. Remember the most important rule - they can not be soaked with other things, so as not to spoil other clothes. So it is best to wash black jeans separately. 

Taking proper care of your jeans ensures that you are together for a long time. So don't forget about it and remember about the right temperature regime:)
